Invalid Railroad Regression Error
I would put this in Beta Bugs but I know that technically it is not a bug. So I am going to make it a suggestion instead.
If you have a railroad segment cross a street segment and you decide to junction them.
(pic 1)
You get an error when you save telling you that all turns are disallowed.
(pic 2)While technically this is true, you CAN"T allow the turns onto/off the railroad segment (and you shouldn't be allowed to).
This is a left over error from back when turns could be set on railroad segments and needs to…

This seems to be a bug.

Junction Box Modal dialog does not appear in practice mode
In practice mode, the modal dialog used to choose the routes through the Junction Box does not appear.
It does appear when logged in.
This is inconsistent. All the features of Junction Box should be visible in practice mode so editors can learn about junction box without risk of accidentally making changes.

This seems. like a bug, and not a suggestion. Therefore, a bug was opened to the relevant teams in the HQ.

Harmonize poor-road nomenclature to "Poor roads"
Please harmonize the nomenclature Waze uses for roads that may beat up cars or get them dirty.
Currently, WME allows marking segments as "unpaved", while the companion feature in the app allows the driver to avoid "dirt". But unpaved and dirt are two different things; for example, many would consider a gravel road to be unpaved, but few would call it dirt. Meanwhile, even some paved roads have such poor surface quality that local drivers might wish to avoid them in favor of better alternatives.
Since the underlying goal is to allow drivers to avoid roads with poor surface quality,…

place destination counter for the last 30 days
Selecting a Waze place could show the amount of route requests in the last 30 days that had the exact Waze place as a destination.
This would be quite informative and could give us editors an insight on how demanded an entry is.

Save changes as a draft
The "save as draft" button keeps the changes made but not yet saved, so that they can be resumed at a later time or continued on another device.

Restore UR interface to prior version
WME v 2.1.344.1-4e85e205 broke the UR comments interface in numerous ways. Restore it to 2.1.285.3-612222ad

Display state instead of country when zoomed out
If a country uses states then when between zoom levels 5/6 to 10 it should say the state name rather than country name. Once you are zoomed out past level 5 or 6 then it should start saying the country name.
E.g. More useful to know I am looking at Queensland instead of Australia at this zoom level

Work closer with scripters
Develop a closer working relationship with scripters. They provide great tools that make the time we can devote to editing far more productive - UNTIL the scripts are broken when WME is updated. When possible incorporate script functionality into native code.

Allow un-checking Segments layer to be persistent
When using Street Vector Layer I turn off the Segments layer but each time a hard refresh is required (which is far too often) the Segments layer is re-activated by default. Please allow the setting for the Segments layer to be persistent.

WME road closure history information
In WME, editors are able to see road segment information and current road closures. At the moment, after road closures end, there is no visibility of what the road closure was in relation to and how long it was set for. This makes it a bit difficult when editors receive URs from road users and are unsure what the issue is related to.
It would be handy to see historical road closure information on that segment (if it be within the last 30 days or for the life of the segment).

Route consistency and enhancements on editor route list
When opening the list of previous routes on the map editor, I'd suggest the following:
- keep routes available up to a certain limit, ideally one year (like for example foursquare does with the checkins). More than one year may be too much data on the servers, but less than one year would be too short to look at older routes.
- routes available on the editor should really be available. currently old routes are visible on the list, but then fails to load with a "permission denied". I can't understand if there's a time limit, or if the routes stop working…

Make speedtraps work like House Numbers on WME
Speedtraps are hard to edit correctly on WME.
They don't snap properly, and a lot of times, they don't give a warning (when you're above the speed) because they're not snapped correctly.
Make them work like house numbers: with a direct link to the road.
Also, we could have the option to mark a speedtrap as "both ways" to reduce clutter on the navigation screen and speed up the work of Editors.3 votes -
Make it possible in editor to mark where the main lobby is for businesses
It would be awesome if we could have the ability to mark where the front/main lobby is for business, such as hotels and hospitals. As a delivery driver, I have a hard time for finding entrances to business in strip malls as well, so being able to mark them would not only help delivery drivers, but everyone else as well.

Control the map editor clique
The map editors in my area seemed to have formed a clique of "insiders" who do not permit others to try map editing. Everything is locked down to "level 2" or "level 3" and above, so anyone who is new to map editing is unable to do ANYTHING. The one time I made a change, I was questioned and given some snippy attitude about it. Then, the map editors undid my change, and locked that section to a higher level. I think there should be some kind of oversight for calling out zealous map editors. Just because they started earlier…

RESPOSTA MAPA EDITOR
Antes da última atualização, quando o usuário reportava um erro no mapa, recebia uma mensagem na caixa de mensagens no app e era possível responder ao questionamento do editor rapidamente, dentro do app.
Agora o usuário recebe um email com um link para entrar no site, muito mais complicado
Sugiro que as notificações e respostas de erros no mapas sejam novamente realizadas dentro da caixa de mensagens do app. Muito mais prático!

Bilingual
Hello. Is it possible that in the future, the names of cities may also be displayed alphabetically (Roman, Cyrillic, Chinese, etc.) to which I installed the application on the device?

אפשרות לתכנון המסלול המהיר ביותר בין הרבה נוקודות יעד. אפשרות ששליחים מכל התחומים יהנו ממנה
תכנון נסיעה למספר רב של יעדים, למשל בשביל שליחים..
כרגע בוויז אפשר לתכנן נסיעה ליעד אחד ומקסימום להוסיף עוד עצירה אחת בדרך.
הרעיון שלי הוא שיהיה אפשר להכניס המון נקודות יעד ושוויז ישכלל את הנתונים ויעדכן במסלול הכי מהיר לעבור בין כל הנקודות.
בעיקר ישמש את כל השליחים שצריכים בזמן הכי מהיר לעבור
בהמון נקודות הפצה.3 votes
